    If the motor is out of the water, disconnect the shift cable from the motor. Without the motor running and the kill switch off, shift the motor to neutral. Spin the prop with your foot and shift to forward and reverse via the linkage. They both should engage. If not then, it could be something as simple as a shift rod adjustment.
    But to the naked eye not really. The LU would have to come off and tear it apart to tell for sure. The vibration would have been the first indication of an issue.
